A very well-written Rondel grande about the symbols of love that we find in the different colour roses. Each color has a special meaning that lovers should know and not offend their lived one.

Hi June. This is a smooth, well rhymed and described Rondel Grande. Your repeating line emphasizes the nearly forgotten subtle meaning of flowers. We all know the impact and meaning of the beautiful red rose, but the others not so much. Thank you for the reminder. Great job. Marilyn

Ahhh.... the meaning of flowers! I fear it is a lost 'art' these days... although I do find myself looking up certain ones before I bring some to a friend! ;) :) Old habits die hard, I suppose! ;) This is a lovely offering, June -- with that 'medieval romance' in it that I do wish would catch on again!! ;) :) Yvette

I enjoyed reading this verse with the descriptions of the flowers and their meanings, June. A very nice Rondel Grande. I would mention...

Third stanza, third line... the word .the. is misspelled.

A nice write.

    Thanks for the headsup on the typo! No one else noticed - must have bad eyes like me. Appreciate the review, Melissa.

What a clever subject for this well written rondel grande. In the olden days, flowers were used to convey messages. Not so much now, I think. The repeating line fit very well with each stanza and strengthened the lines before it.

"Say it with flowers" was the strap line of a well known florist in the UK. And your write reminded me of it. Flowers will always remain great symbols of love and caring and deep feelings, I enjoyed you Rondel, love Dolly x
